Packet Analyzer stores data in industry-standard packet capture format. Packet Analyzer captures all frames, including those normally discarded by standard network interface cards (NICs). It delivers real-time high performance with either four Gigabit Ethernet or two 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. It then generates a detailed search query to locate those packets.
Examine the exact sequence of events in an investigationĬisco Security Packet Analyzer uses Stealthwatch flow data analysis to locate specific points in the data stream. Speed incident response with a targeted analysis of packets associated with a security alarm or other suspicious activity. Obtain granular details of what occurred in the network at a given point in time. Gain a complete view of the contents of any conversation within the network. Using Packet Analyzer, organizations are thus able to: There is no need to sift through all the packets that are captured from network traffic or hold them for later investigation. Through integration with other Cisco Security products, Packet Analyzer provides analysts with the ability to capture all the raw packets from network. Unlike traditional solutions, Packet Analyzer gives operators the ability to store and search only the packets that trigger alarms in the user interface. With Packet Analyzer you can conduct packet capture in select areas of the network where an incident is detected. This is where Packet Analyzer plays a very important role. That is, they look for packets specific to those events for a faster investigation.
However, an organization might look for a full packet capture without the need to store all packets from all time. These can collect and store all of the information that traverses the network. A common method is using packet capture solutions.
Security professionals can speed incident response in several ways.
Many organizations possess some level of security monitoring and incident response capability. The need to respond to advanced threats quickly has never been greater. The question today is not whether your network will be breached. Network threats and cybercriminals are getting smarter.
